arranged therein the dentifrice 24, said c0ntainer to be hereinafter more fully described. The plug 22 has formed therein a central opening 25 for the passage of a stem 26 carrying a plunger disc 27. Thisplunger disc 27 is of a diameter to snugly iit in the tube 23 and has formed thereon a threaded stud 28 which is adapted to be threaded into the interlor end portion of the .stem 26. A plunger sleeveis indicated at 29 and is adapted to have 60 telescopical relation With the magazine 19 and the closed end portion 30 of this sleeve 29 has a threaded studq 31 which is adapted to bev threaded into the opposite end portion ofthe stem 26.

to tne magazine and the plunger 27 arranged telescopical position with respect to the magazine 19 the plunger will act'on the dentifrice and-force a certain amount of the same 'into the duct 11 and A through the o enings'13 into the bristles 12, 90 said amount oi dentifrice ejectedthrough the openin s 13 depending u on the movement of the s eeve 29"finto said te escopical osition.;

When the sleeve is released a er this movement the spring 32 will act to return the 95 same together with the plunger 'in itsoutermost position.

The inner end portion of thevmagazine has ai threaded portionV 20V adaptedl for threaded engagement with a threaded neck 21 of aplug 22. This magazine 19 is adapted tox house a tube 23 having y 4 in the open end of the tube 251. `By moving the 85 t head 10 may be oi any conigurationand has, sleeve 29 into ing the cap slidable movement` with -respect thereto,`
